Camaleões - Espetáculo Festa Contemporânea

Chameleons - Contemporary Party-Spectacle

2011 to 2013

This project consists of social events such as a party where the audience is invited to interact with body painting and express their ideas through dance. The spectacle was created from a research. This process started in Salvador city and developed in Governador Valadares passed through the cities of Conselheiro Lafaiete, Belo Horizonte in Brazil and La Seyne Sur Mer in France.

Up and down the trees and do little handworks with organic elements to stimulate creativity and to experiment on movements, “Arvorar Project” aims at interacts contemporary dance with visual arts and nature. The fundamental idea of project is to seek various forms of interpret the tale Arvorar by Clênio Magalhães, winner of International Festival of Literature Arnaldo Giraldo (2007). The first experiment was a big installation that was composed of leaves, branches, soil, water, fire, computers and recycled materials. In the second experiment, he covered the floor with sand to draw movements which had created in the trees tops of the dance in form of paint and the third, through video, propose an interaction within real and virtual movements in trees tops. In the third experiment, he invited the actor Maurício Mendes and Tamaki Yonekura to do a monologue with the text.

Comedy monologue, by awarded Brazilian theater author Claudio Simões that narrates fictitious history of Mário Augusto. He is a lonely and maladroit man and he is involved the worst situation when he discovers that his girlfriend was assassinated in his home.

All schemes happen in his apartment, while he tries to disclose the mystery across clues and secret telephone calls. He needs prove his innocence. The plot is written like a soap opera to aim to provoke reflection about the violence and gauge TV.

Dos sonhos

(By dreams) 2007

This work is an installation created for actors as a result of workshop. The course of twenty hours consists in research movements of what we do while sleeping and the signification by our dreams in our life.

In installation the public can see the actors “sleeping” all the time and follow particulars histories like as sleepwalker. The performances are funny, calm and contaminant.

Body, light, clothes, music and verb, which are the ingredients used to prepare the show’s recipe. Banquet is a raw and sample dish to eat with hands. Implicit things in the simplicity are secrets of this recipe. The choreography is poetry, combining the propriety of the movement with the peculiar capacity of the contemporary dance.

The principal point is the verb TO EAT. This word which is inspired by authors like as ANDRADE, Oswald; FREUD, Sigmund; RIBEIRO, João Ubaldo and so on, is directly connected with sexual and anthropophagic ambit in this spectacle. Scenes express the relationship, what do they do and talk about the others.

This project consists of performances involving dance, theater, paint, visual arts, music and fashion. The chiefly theme is multicolor of races that are originated from miscegenation. The first experiment is a big installation composite for musical band, actors, dancers, children, roses, clown noises, paper, coal, red fabric, chalk in dust, blacks and white clothes, lipsticks, black cards and bananas. The performance is formed for scenic games about races relation. The second experiment is a small installation composed of whites t-shirts, white, black, yellow and red tints and a green carpet. The performance consists in paint t-shirts while dancing and after the performance sell them. The idea is to materialize the dance in a stamp and to sell them as a piece. How much is a dance? How much is a movement? These questions are the critical point of this choreography.

In all the senses I think about opposition to one thing and others, considering the positive and negative sense that is the theme of this work. For that the work doesn’t follow a specific opposition, the choreography utilize stimulus the cold and hot temperature for create movements. To express cold temperature, the dancers represent mimic, dialogues like dancing phrases, and hot group the dancers represent senses like a melody of a musical instrument. To cold the movement is broken, accurate and angular to hot the movement is continuo, ambiguous and floppy. Like a war, the two groups dispute the scenic space creating frontiers. The choreography starts simple, easy, exact, and cold, ending complex, difficult, ambiguous and hot. Like everything in the universe, this work is considered the theory about entropy, where the hot group movement wins the history.In theater act, the work has a screen made with metal of rests by refrigerator and stove and six dancers. In performance act, the work is structured with scaffold, an ice block, fabric in kerosene, fire and two dancers.

The Brazil, chiefly the state of Bahia, experiment all years a cathartic moment named carnival. In this party “everything is going”. The country becomes a great commercial, musical and touristic space and the participants are named “foliões”. In all over the world, a lot of people came to collaborate with many indexes that measure the event. It’s a true mix of dances, bodies, cultures, violence, love, meetings, attaches, dies, births, money, steals, alienations, originality forming antagonisms that do the party a contemporary show in mass. The fantasy blends with reality, profane with religion during three or more days that end in gray Wednesday. “Swing, but don’t fall” dialogues with the Brazilian people that even live with difficulty however is a smiling nation. The signs of carnival promote news meetings like a peace’s agent. This workintegrates the repertory of Grupo Imagem of Federal University of Bahia UFBA in the Faculty of dance.

This work immerges in atmosphere of pornography, eroticism with other references about sex. Authors like FREUD, SADE, BOCAGE, DECAMERON served like inspiration to create the choreographic movements. A quarter of paradise integrates the repertory of Grupo Imagem of Federal University of Bahia UFBA in the Faculty of dance.

There are two fictitious personages. They are alone and keen to escape from solitude, so decide to go to the theater. They don’t imagine what happen in their life before beginning show, in other words, to fall in love. They promise to love and respect forever. “I accept...!” is contemporary dance based on conjugal relation: duo, contact improvisation, repetition, drama and humor of which techniques are used to express passionate, broken and delicious heart.

This solo is a choreography of five minutes and created while student. The idea is to talk about the challenge to gravity of classical ballet. The controversy broke out when a professor of ballet gave me 0.5 point of which max point is 2. Since then the scores is added to subtitle of choreography.

They have something in common, which is to fall in love. The faun talks about his heart, the woman is crazy remembering the childhood love and the man is sad because of a letter by his missed love.
